I quite enjoy browsing through these links so I hope they notice. Sadly, I'm not in the market for a BMW (still waiting for those numbers to come up) so I'm still happy to cough up a tenner every now & then to keep the backroom going but then that's another thread...

When I was buying 6 months ago I used all sorts of links to autotrader, glass's guide etc, and I put all these links together in my favourites folder. Perhaps it would be fruitful to have a link on the lhs which effectively gives you all these links - an "everylink you every wanted when buying a car" link or something similar. BTW I bought 2 cars from GTC & trade sales & made it clear that this site was how I found them. They looked at me somewhat mystified but wrote this down nonetheless. Just interested in whether/how this comes to generate income for the site. How can you check they followed this through?!

Would this be the 'Directories' and FAQ section Splodgeface?

Sadly, I too am not able to actually buy from the BMW site just now! But I do keep clicking on the link, and I hope they have a way of realising I'm doing this and that this site is where I'm doing it from!

I'll also make a point of visiting the other links too, even though, again, I won't be buying from them, I'm afraid.

To everyone else here - please do the same, even if you have no intention or means of making any purchases. I think we all owe it to this site to be as supportive as we possibly can, and this is a very small thing that we can all do to be of some assistance.

Ha Ha! But, whilst I have nothing but admiration for your excellent knowledge when it comes for cars, I crave for something "user friendly" when it comes to me buying cars. All I'm saying is that "Directories" might not work for everyone. Just suggesting it could be rejigged to make it more eye-catching.

Yep, will do the clicking thing - Seeing as I've made a small, nay MINI purchase from BMW I feel better that I'm funding very indirectly!
